  • Off-grid site close to the south Cornwall coast
  • Two miles from Lizard village; Porthleven 20 minutes' drive
  • Spacious furnished bell tents for families and couples
Belle Camping is an off-grid spot located just a couple of miles from the village of Lizard, the southernmost settlement in mainland Britain. With a central location on the Lizard Peninsula, the site is within easy reach of many of the best parts of Cornwall's south coast, with Porthleven to the west and Falmouth to the east. Belle Camping has a handful of well-maintained five-metre canvas bell tents, each of which is smartly furnished with colourful décor and comfortably set up for families or couples. All of the tents have access to shared facilities, including a clean toilet and shower; there is also a communal firepit and seating area where you can sit back and relax in the open air. Other than that, there's no internet access or electricity here, but there is good phone signal. Although the weather in this part of the world is generally mild thanks to a southerly location, you might want to bring along some blankets for those nights when it does get chilly.

Bell tent (four person)

Liked: A long list of positives! Michelle has made us feel welcome, and was very helpful. The tent was new, and spotlessly clean, and very well equipped with everything that is needed to cook. A welcome hamper with yummy goodies was a lovely touch. Showers and toilets were close by, clean and comfortable. Best of all, we could see the sea when we unzipped our tent, which was a wonderful experience.

Disliked: Nothing at all!

Bell tent (two person)

Liked: The tents at Belle camping are amazing, really clean and well decorated with a comfy bed. The location is pretty stunning with easy access to the sw coastal path up to lizard point and into the village itself via the ‘double hedges’ which are an interesting Cornish feature. The toilet block is great with working showers that are hot most of the time. Michelle was lovely and helpful as were Will and Catherine who run the other campsite. Would stay again

Disliked: The rain! Although proved the bell tents are weather proof

From the manager: Thank you for your review Harry I’m so pleased your enjoyed your stay it’s great to get positive feedback back especially on a new site It’s very encouraging to know we are doing it right 😁 And at least we have now tested the tents are weatherproof We hope to welcome you again soon Kind regards Michelle

Bell tent (four person)

Liked: The site is great for watching the night sky. The tent is comfortable and has a great view of the sea and moonrise. It is very close to a national trust footpath and we could walk along the cliff all the way to the lizard point. The facilities are great, we could cook easily. People are nice and friendly.
